These kids made some fabulous eggs. Since we waited until the day before Easter to do this activity, we didn't have Dad and Alex with us. They were delivering mulch for Boy Scouts and then off to a soccer game on the other side of town.
Can you see the glitter? Makes for a mess when you go to peel them!
Macey learned to ride her bike in the fall, and on this day I told the kids we were going to ride our bikes a mile to the ward Easter picnic. Macey was nervous, but she did awesome!
Look at all these kids! It is nice to have children in primary. We miss our Plano 8 friends, but it is good to have young families around us.
So, this was the Easter Egg pick up. The grown-ups spread the eggs on the soccer field and the kids picked them up. Macey said, 'That wasn't much of an Easter Egg hunt.' Nah, but it was fun anyway.
Bring on the mulch. I laid the pavers around the front of the house. It took me all week to do it, but I finally finished just in time for the mulch to come.
Just need some plants. And maybe some more mulch to give it some height. Next year, we'll just stack it up on top!
Note 1: Ryan is crazy. Note 2: Yeah, our fence fell down last week. Note 3: this is the Egg Hunt Macey was most excited about. Dad is a great egg hider! No throwing it out in the open for you to pick-up.
Note 4: Macey is awesome at posing for pictures!
With 1:00 pm church, we had a big brunch and regular dinner. I sneaked away after breakfast and went to see my running buddy conduct an awesome Easter performance at Plano 8. Then I trekked back to Frisco for my second Easter service. I really enjoyed the music and spirit of the first meeting. And again, the spirit, simpleness and ease of the second. Do what you can with the talent you've got and be grateful for it!
I've been patching Ryan's pants for years. (Repeatedly this year...) Macey had a major crash at school and came home with her first holey jeans. When I told her I needed to patch these pants she turned and looked at me and said, 'Oh, do you still have the fabric you used on Crawly's shoes? (these are baby shoes I made for Macey that are now in her toy box) I think that fabric would make a really great patch.' Huh, I usually just match the denim to whatever came in my iron on patch kit. But I do have iron-on adhesive, so I guess I could do that. So, here they are. Maybe it needed a little something more. Like matching ribbon on the hem or pockets!
Man, wouldn't it be great if you could sit right here snuggled down for hours while your person is scrubbing, vacuuming, and exercising her morning away?!
